    I've just recently noticed my boot lock is slipping out of my boot, I was wondering how to re seat it back into position? I don't want to just silicone it back into place if I can fix it easy and the right way. Cheers

    Yer as in the boot key barrel is sliding out, doesn't look like anyone has tried, looks like its just due to age

    There's a u shaped tab clamp sort of thing that holds them in. Should be heaps at any wreckers.

    Look around the inside of the bootlid (not boot) as it would have slipped off and be caught in the seams....use a torch and mirror to look into the seams.

    Mine was like this too and would rattle so much with the subs. I just silicone'd it but considering melting it off because it is ugly, might do it from the inside instead lol.
